Governor Christie Yells at Dr. Mariano

Apparently Governor Jersey made a phone call to ex White House doctor Mariano and yell at her for worrying about his health. She had concerns that his obesity posed a threat to his health, especially, give the demands of running for President or serving in that office. Note Rand Study below discussing the dangers of obesity as compared to others dangers like smoking.

They can tell women what they can do with their own bodies from their legislatures and governor mansions.

Fuck Chris Christie - he is morbidly obese and people will talk about it

I agree with Christie. MYOB cyber doctors, and others. Take care of YOURSELF.

Christie's POLITICS on the other hand are a different matter, but he has my support on weight issues.
